Ran 13 years of my Facebook comments through an AI Topic Sorter I like. I set it for 60 words each in 6 Topics. Ran it for 6000 iterations and I like this topic:

This is the tool I used for the Topic Modeling. Very easy to use. You change the settings and see what it does. It takes in plain text. https://senderle.github.io/topic-modeling-tool/documentation/2017/01/06/quickstart.html

For my facebook comments, I downloaded them a month or two ago using the Facebook download feature. I selected ONLY my comments with no pictures or videos or anything so that it wouldn’t be huge. But unfortunately it’s in JSON format and I’m used to CSV. Thankfully, last night I found a JSON TO CSV tool that worked perfectly for me in Python 2. (I had to use Py -2 [program name] inputfile.json “comments_v2” outputfile.csv and it worked. I’m no good at python or json but I was determined to stay there as short as possible a time and thankfully it worked.
The tool I found is here:

- Cognitive Science
- Ethics
- Entertainment
- Political Science
- Creativity
- EducationSet one focuses on: individual perception, thought processes, and the creation of ideas. Set two focuses on: external systems, institutions, and social structures?”
Yes, that’s a good summary of the abstracted themes for each set. Set one is more about internal cognitive processes and creativity, while set two is more about external factors such as politics, law, and society.

One possible way to tie them together is to think about how individuals interact with and respond to external systems and structures, and how these systems and structures, in turn, shape individual perception and thought processes.
